Muriel - is this nice, underused and classic, or just terribly dull and frumpy? We have a lovely friend (who admittedly is in her 60s) called Muriel so I've always liked it.

Clio/Cleo - I love this, but are the car/cat associations just too strong?

I don't like Muriel. Marielle?
Clio, no! I know it's a name but it's too well-known as the car. Clea?

You're terrible, Muriel!!

Nuff said...

Cleo is okay, but only if you spell it with an 'E'. Spelling it Clio like the name makes it a bit naff.

I like Muriel. I imagine it feeling much different when it's on an actual person. I'd love to meet a baby Muriel!

I really dislike Clio/Cleo though, it's not very classy where I live. Even apart from that, I can't get past the car.

Muriel is pure old lady and Clio sounds like a car

Love love love Clio, though DH also nixed it due to the car thing. But I know a lovely (female) Mercedes, and never thought of the car after the first meeting!

Muriel is a bit old lady and a bit Muriel's Wedding for me.

Not sure about Muriel, maybe it grows on you.

Clio = Renault
No cat associations for me?
